Edge #1 (edited by Chris Oarr) kicks off with a gritty, mysterious tone that immediately sets it apart from standard superhero fare. It’s dark, a bit cryptic, and leaves you wondering what’s really going on beneath the surface. Its a cool anthology and concept of adding in a compilation of different single issue comics spread across a series of graphic novels
I liked the atmosphere and tension – although some of the stories / comic series had less appeal than others. The art is really cool.
